I seem to have missed the start of this - however I'd suggest getting 
hardware to do it for you - e.g. Draytek 2820 - will work out of the box 
for you as it has both an ADSL port and an Ethernet port for the cable 
presenstation.

A good point - if to reach the ITSP then it'll be fine if to reach phones 
then your effective external IP address will alternate between the 2 - so 
the phones won't always be able to connect - but you could start to fiddle 
with dynamic DNS solutions, etc. Not perfect though.
